Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2525360A2] A method for data storage in a memory (24) including an array (28) of analog memory cells (32), includes selecting a group of the memory cells such that each memory cell in the group has one or more neighbor memory cells in the array that are excluded from the group. Data is stored in the group of the memory cells while excluding the neighbor memory cells from programming as long as the data is stored in the group of the memory cells.
